1/5/2025 Week 18 - Around The NFL

[YoloinOhio]

Jets have a pulse somehow 

[BRH]

Dolphins really gonna lose to the dog-ass Jets.

 

Which means it's entirely the Chiefs who are going to keep the Bengals out of the playoffs.

 

Love it.

Couldn't even give bro a day

Kraft’s infatuation with Mayo never made sense to me.   He was essentially a position coach while Belichick ran the defense.  
 

There were reports that he was promised the job before Bill retired.  Then when it actually happened, Mayo was given the job without any kind of search.  
 

My guess is that Kraft felt he was getting Belichick’s program without Bill.  He also could take back the GM duties.  
 

Mayo was a train wreck though as is Elliot Wolf.  I didn’t think Kraft had the balls to do it but firing Mayo probably helps NE.  It can’t be much worse

Chargers as a wildcard wouldn't host in all likelihood 

San Diego just converted a nice 2 pointer

The post says if both the Rams and Chargers are slated to host a Conference Championship game. It's a hypothetical future scenario. Hopefully not one to be considered for this year.

[BRH]

Today really could not be going any better.

[Draconator]

Miami playing like Miami in the cold.

What's the evidence that Wolf is a trainwreck. i've never heard anything but great stuff about him, he did come up with Maye.

I mean I know that this year, but in a world where it did..  what happens?

 

Im guessing the league would have to schedule a 4 hour window in between games to get folks out, set up, and bring the new crowd in?

[Steptide]

Jets looking like a competent team today 

[mannc]

Glad we don’t have to count on the Dolphins to win…

Zay Jones sighting in Arizona

It'd be like an NCAA tourney game, they'd just sell single admission tickets for both games. 

 

Seeing as most LA games get a lot of away supporters it'd probably be an even 4-way split between fan bases.

I think he’s still in part living off his fathers success. 
 

Jury is out on him and his decisions.

Playoff schedule Prediction if the results go as I think today:

 

Saturday 4:30- Houston Vs Chargers

Saturday 8:15- Rams Vs Wash

Sunday 1:00- Bills vs Broncos

Sunday 4:30- Eagles Vs GB

Sunday Night- Balt Vs Pitts

Monday- Bucs Vs loser of game tonight

He was lucky to draft Maye.  But look at the supporting cast he put around him.  Easily the worst supporting cast on offense.  There never was a plan for his development, he exceeded expectations.  
 

New England had a lot of cap space but added no significant players through free agency.

 

Now take a look at the Patriots draft.  It’s among one of the worst in the NFL.  Everyone knew they needed WR’s.  The players they drafted have 100 yards COMBINED this season.  Wolf is trainwreck.

Take a look at that roster and tell me he did a good job in a year when he had a lot cap space and resources.

Im not disagreeing with you. At all. 
 

That’s exactly why I said I think he’s living off his fathers success…

 

The jury being out is he’s only been in that VP of player personnel role since BB left. 
 

Maye doesn’t look bad, neither does that OL guy Robinson. 🤷‍♂️

Got to give him another year. If not the search continues.

Will love to watch all those games except Balt/ Pitt. 

Steelers are toast.

This is why dolphins fans are hilarious to me

 

Do you know they have a topic on their board that’s 10+ pages long asking where Tua ranks amongst other NFL QBs and an absolutely shocking amount of their fans had him ranked in the top 5.

 

But the Dolphins are currently losing a game they need to keep their playoff hopes alive to one or the worst teams in the NFL whose roster has completely packed it in for the year.

 

And how is Tua playing with the season on the line?

 

Trick question - he’s not playing.  Of course he’s not.
